Meet Your Mentors
Hello from Dr. Chris Aysom and Dr. Cody Scharf! We’re two Chiropractors who share a passion for helping manual therapists better understand and manage chronic pain.
Like many of you, we’ve both experienced the frustration of working with patients who aren’t improving, and reaching the point where we weren’t sure what to do next.
Over time, we learned that progressing these cases takes more than adding new treatment techniques. It requires better clinical thinking, a systematic approach to understanding the problem, and guidance from people who have been there before.
That’s what brought us together to create Diagnostic Mindset: a practical, systematic approach to help manual therapists ask better questions, interpret the clues and develop a clearer understanding of why their patients are still in pain.
And you don't need to have all the answers before you start. Clinical thinking is a skill you can develop, and you don't have to figure it all out alone.
As a DM student, you’ll learn the exact, structured approach to history-taking that we've been using in our own practices, to work through some of the most challenging cases we've ever seen. And, when you’re ready to take things further, additional mentoring and ThriveX training are also available.
We’re excited to help you take the next step in your clinical development. Welcome to Diagnostic Mindset!
You're in the Right Place if
You're a Manual Therapist (eg Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Massage Therapists, Physiotherapists, Myotherapists etc)
It bothers you when a patient doesn't improve
You know you have more to offer your patients who are still in pain
You want to look beyond symptoms and understand what's driving their symptoms
You believe good clinical care starts with good clinical thinking
This is NOT The Right Fit If
You DON'T use your hands to examine & treat patients.
You're satisfied with your current approach to understanding your patient's presentation.
You're NOT interested in developing your clinical reasoning or challenging your thinking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this program for?
Diagnostic Mindset is designed for manual therapists at different stages of their careers. The main requirement is a willingness to keep learning and improving.
If you’re a student or early in your career, it will help you build a stronger foundation for understanding chronic pain and approaching complex cases with greater confidence.
If you’re an experienced practitioner, it will challenge your current processes and provide a systematic approach to cases that aren’t progressing as expected.
And if you’re a massage therapist who wants to go beyond simply treating the painful area, Diagnostic Mindset will help you think more critically about what might be contributing to your client’s symptoms and when further investigation or referral may be needed.
How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?
The core curriculum is a one-time purchase, so you can get started immediately and access the material without a time limit. Your private community membership is also available immediately, allowing you to connect with other practitioners as you progress through the course.
If you’d like more personalised guidance, access to mentoring is available through a separate subscription. This is optional and can be purchased separately from the core curriculum.
Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?
Absolutely, there’s plenty of valuable information about chronic pain and clinical practice available on YouTube and other free resources.
The challenge isn’t necessarily finding more information. It’s knowing what information matters, how to interpret it, and how to bring it all together to make better-informed clinical decisions.
That’s where Diagnostic Mindset is different. Instead of piecing together information from different sources, you’ll learn a practical, systematic approach to clinical reasoning that you can apply in practice.
You’re not just paying for information. You’re investing in a structured process to help you think more clearly, ask better questions and approach challenging cases with greater confidence.
Do I need to have a licence to diagnose before starting?
No. You don’t need to hold a licence to diagnose to take part in Diagnostic Mindset.
The program is designed to help manual therapists develop their clinical reasoning, ask better questions, interpret relevant information and build a clearer understanding of what might be contributing to a patient’s or client’s symptoms.
However, the scope of practice differs between professions and jurisdictions. Diagnostic Mindset is an educational program, not a licence to diagnose or practise beyond your professional scope.
You’re responsible for working within the requirements of your profession and referring to an appropriate healthcare professional when necessary.
Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely! Diagnostic Mindset has a 7-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely SATISFIED and ENLIGHTENED by the Diagnostic Mindset Program, then contact us within 7 Days for a full refund, no questions asked!
